Lynn was the beautiful mother of Emma Lynn Venosdel, and Dylan Reed Venosdel, the loving wife of Gale Venosdel, and an amazing sister to Richard Glenn Coyer and Darrell James Coyer. She is preceded in death by her Mother, Jean Roberta Coyer, and Sister, Michelle Elizabeth Dawes.

Lynn had an amazing spirit and brought joy to everyone who knew her. She loved her family deeply. Those close to her had a loyal and true friend.

Lynn was born in Ware, Massachusetts, and her family relocated to Oklahoma when she was a young girl. The childhood household was filled with love, support, and big personalities. Her mother, Jean, was a single parent, and Lynn was the oldest. Lynn would often help with the younger siblings, and they all shared a special bond of pride and love. Lynn's strong connection to her family was evident to all who knew her.

On May 15, 1997, a guy in need of some allergy medication came into the Utica pharmacy where she worked. Their attraction and connection was instant and real. After a return trip to the pharmacy the very next day for some additional cough drops, Gale somehow managed to ask out the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Lynn told him, "I'm in the book". They chuckled and he asked if she could help him. She did, and so began a life together. One year after meeting they were joined in Holy Matrimony at the Harweldon Mansion in Tulsa with a small (but lively) ceremony. As life went on, from time-to-time, Gale would say "Thanks for being my wife" Lynn would flash her beautiful, toothy smile and say "You're welcome".

Lynn's biggest joy in life was being a mother. She loved staying home with the kids and joined them at their Elementary school as a highly active member of the PTA and a substitute teacher. She would eventually become a Para at the school and fostered many beautiful relationships with the students and staff at Moore Elementary and in her neighborhood. Her students were always excited to see her, affectionately calling her "Mrs. V" and flashing the peace sign with their fingers. She was involved in numerous school events like the Holiday Mart, Jog-A-Thon and Moore Olympics. She enjoyed the teachers' Bowling group and was a most requested member for those fun nights out. She was famous for waving her streamer flags and bringing positivity to the school environment.

Lynn's fun personality made it easy for everyone to enjoy her and the moments they shared. Lynn loved music, and often preferred it to be loud! She would dance and dance and dance. She enjoyed family trips to the mountains and beaches. She was the biggest supporter of Emma and Dylan's sports, art and orchestra activities. She loved the Holiday seasons and created many fun, family traditions. Lynn was a truly special person that led by example and spread joy wherever she went. She will be forever loved and missed by those who knew her.
